Does anyone have a “Prestige” Camper Trailer cover?
Camper cover on ebay
They are supposed to be 100% water proof on the top, but
mine definitely is not. It lets in water to the point where is a large about of water sitting in hollows of the vinyl cover of the camper. Thankfully that IS waterproof! I am intending on returning it from the caravan accessories store where I purchased it, but just wanting to get a feel as to if this one is a faulty one (as claimed by the
shop – but they would I suppose) or if they are not really 100% water proof.
Thanks
Tim

Howdy Tim, I am not sure that ours is a "prestige" brand as I did not keep the documentation, but I am pretty sure that it is the same brand name. Mind you, we paid much more than the price you are looking at, I think it was about the $350.00 mark 3 years ago from an Automotive retailer. Big W here in NSW & caravan retail outlets were selling them at about that price at the time.
Our experience with ours is that if you let the water "
pool' on top then it will seep through. Our practise is to lower the jockey wheel & get the front of the A frame down as low as you can, thereby putting a fall on the roof & preventing the water from pooling. Hope this helps. Cheers.
